I have just returned from a visit to Venus Apartments and Charlie is hard at it making some serious improvements. It is probably a two-year plan, but many of the studios and apartments are being upgraded with larger shower rooms, re-vamped kitchens and lots of new tiling. The new 'wetrooms' are almost double the size of the old shower rooms and Charlie hopes to have them all completed by January. I will post photos as soon as they are ready. In 2011, Venus will be available to take a small number of direct bookings, or through the Cosmos/Co-operative Travel organisation. If you want to book direct, then do so as soon as possible.

Hi, How's the improvements going on at the Venus?? I'm getting excited now and I still have 12 weeks to go.. Is it still to early to book a car with Dromeas?? I'm one of those who like's to make sure everything is done weeks before hand and likes to pay as quickly as possible. If I am still a bit too early to book a car can someone give me a shout as soon as I can please.. Many thanks

Hi Abbie - as soon as Spiros or Miriam at Dromeas put in an appearance, I will post something on the forum. I am receiving a few enquiries for them and I pass them on by email as soon as I get them.
The improvemenets at Venus are almost finished, the pool is fully repainted, the pumps serviced and all the new kitchen areas & shower rooms just about completed. Thanasis was due back this week and I guess he will help Charlie with the finishing touches.
Steve

Thank you Steve for letting me know. I'm trying to talk my sister to come over sometime in the end of July. She is coming back to Wales for her 50th birthday as she lives in Australia and wants to go away for a few days so I am trying to talk her to coming to Roda. ( only so I can have a few more days out there ) .. She came to Corfu when she got married for her honeymoon way back in 1981 and I think she will be pleasantly suprised as not only have she got rid of her husband but how wonderful Corfu is.. My mother also wishes to come over too so fingers crossed I get to be there for 2 holidays this year

You'll be pleased to hear Karen that I just got back from staying at the Venus in room 5 and I was more that happy with our room and the new wet rooms are lovely. We had a fantastic holiday and nothing is too much trouble for Charlie. If finances allow us for next year we will for sure be staying with Charlie again.. Have a wonderful holiday

Does anybody know whether Venus are taking independent bookings for next year?

Hi Nikki - Charlie will be taking private bookings in 2012, but the sooner you book the better. He tries to hold back one studio and one apartment, but in August, that proves to be difficult. He is still planning to improve some ot the apartments this winter by extending the mezzanine floors and providing sofas etc... Let me know what you are thinking and I will talk to him.

Thanks Steve A good friend of mine is thinking of coming on 2nd July for 13 nights. They'd need a 2 bedroom apt. If available would you be able to get a price please. I've also asked Spiros Banos whether Eftichia has an apt available but still waiting to hear back.

Hi Nikki - Eftichia's prices will be the same as Spiro's, so I guess you know what they will be. For Venus, look at their website - prices are on venusapartmentsroda.com/venusbooking.html - it is unlikely that they will change in 2012, but they can also be booked through Cosmos/Monarch Holidays.

Hi Steve, Just tried emailing Charlie at the Venus to try and book a studio for September and the email is being returned to me. Do you know if the email address has changed for some reason. Also the booking form only goes to 2011. Would it be posible to email you like I did last year giving you our dates etc and passing it onto Charlie for us. It was touch and go wether we would be able to come back this year with me not being able to work but good old hubby came to my rescue, just a lot later in the year so we could save up a bit more. Plus I am able to walk a lot better now than I could last year , so hopefully I can make it down into the village and have a good time. Many thanks Gail

Hi Gail,
Great news .... Charlie has had a problem with his emails and I have been dealing with enquiries for him. His website does need changing, but the rates are the same for 2012. Charlie decided that, to remove the risk of double booking, he would not take private booking during the peak season extending from mid-July to end of August. He does have a contract with Cosmos Holidays, but outside of those weeks he should be able to help. Let me know your requirements, by personal message here or by emailing info@rodaonline.org, if that is better, and I will speak to Charlie as soon as it stops raining!
Best Wishes, Steve

Hi Steve, Thats brilliant.. So glad we like to holiday out of season. No disrespct to those who have children but we like to holiday with less of a risk of loads of children around. Don't like to set a bad example to the young ones when we fall out of a bar drunk I'll email you our dates etc and hopefully he will have a room for us on that date. Once again Steve you are a star .. Thank you so much Gail
